Swindle


Decepticon

Function: Munitions Expert
Sub-Group: Combaticons

 

Modes

Can also form the arm or leg of Bruticus (1986).

 

Parts

Gun
Vehicle Gun

 

Tech Spec

"Make deals, not war."

Easy-going and good natured, but within him beats the fuel pump of the most greed-driven street hustler. Thrives on wheeling and dealing, works for his own personal material advancement. A one-robot "black market". Uses a scatter blaster that sprays explosive pellets, gyro gun that disrupts Transformers' balance center. Combines with fellow Combaticons to form "Bruticus". Prone to overturning on sharp turns.
